SCUBA SAM DIGS DEEP
Scuba Sam is back, or are back, because there is more than one Sam. If you’ve missed this saga - and DIVER has been waiting to see how it plays out - SS is a team of disgruntled technical divers who don’t believe that Egyptian ex-military diver Ahmed Gabr actually dived to 332.25m in 2014 to break the world depth record.
They have been going to impressive investigative lengths to amass evidence to support their case - it’s complicated, but you’ll find it all on their Facebook - and have called on Guinness World Records to investigate. So far, however, GWR has remained tight-lipped.
Latest is that SS report that Gabr has been employed by GWR as a record adjudicator. Indeed there is a picture of him in a blazer in Jordan in 2016 signing off, bizarrely, on the world record for the biggest mosaic ever to be made out of biscuits. Crumbs!
SS reckon that an issue with Gabr’s own record would call into question any that he had adjudicated, biscuits and all. They have also alleged that GWR keeps the records of its records for only a couple of years, and that as an adjudicator Gabr would know that.
